Whole-Exome Sequencing in a Cohort of High Myopia Patients in Northwest China

Whole-Exome Sequencing in a Cohort of High Myopia Patients in Northwest China

High myopia (HM) is one of the leading causes of visual impairment worldwide. In order to expand the myopia gene spectrum in the Chinese population, we investigated genetic mutations in a cohort of 27 families with HM from Northwest China by using whole-exome sequencing (WES). Genetic variations wer...
